Nice. If I had it my way I'd remove the plate but, I know in California they pull you over for just about everything. I remember out there I got nabbed 5 times for not wearing a seat belt. Cali is tough. Very nice ride btw.

Yeah, Ive heard differing stories. Some where people never get pulled over and others where they get pulled over all the time. Also, according to one of my friends/mb techs, he said that my front bumper had all these scratches and stuff on it that if i got it removed, i would probably want to get it painted. And I didnt want to do that.
